From Synthesis to Simulation - Unlocking the Potential of Nanomaterials
Established in 2023
Our research in material science integrates experimental techniques and simulations to study and optimize materials for applications like photocatalysis. We synthesize and characterize materials using methods such as XRD, SEM, Raman spectroscopy, FTIR, and XPS, while also using Density Functional Theory (DFT) simulations to model their properties at the atomic level. This combination of extensive characterization and computational insights allows us to enhance material performance, particularly in environmental cleanup and energy conversion.
Dr. Imtiaz Ahmed
Welcome to the Material Science Research Laboratory (MSRL). I am Dr. Imtiaz Ahmed, Professor in the Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering at the University of Dhaka and Principal Investigator of MSRL. Our lab is dedicated to advancing material science through a combined experimental and computational approach. We use a range of synthesis techniques and Density Functional Theory (DFT) simulations to investigate materials at the atomic level. Our research focuses on optimizing structural, electronic, and optical properties of materials for applications in energy conversion, environmental sustainability, and emerging technologies. At MSRL, we emphasize the integration of lab-based experiments with theoretical modeling to bridge the gap between science and practical solutions..
We are a team of passionate researchers, including undergraduate and master's students, working on cutting-edge nanomaterials synthesis and simulations. Collaborating with experts from leading institutions, we push the boundaries of material science.
MSRL is equipped with a range of instruments, computational resources, and research tools to support material science investigations. Our lab has equipment for synthesis and characterization, VASP servers for DFT simulations, specialized software for data analysis, and a well-maintained chemical inventory. These resources help us conduct research in nanomaterials, semiconductor fabrication, and computational modeling, fostering an environment for innovation and scientific exploration.
